Most ads I see on TV now are either… 1… Ambulance chaser ads 2… Rx ads 3…Those long “not available in stores“ infomercial ads 4…Car/life insurance ads 5...Debit card ads 6...And just about anything else that you cannot buy at a store.

It scares me that, even though I haven’t seen these commercials since the 1960’s, I still remember almost every word, every tune. Proof that television is the ultimate brainwashing machine. 😳

'Will he know what his wife is stirring into that cup of coffee?' 👀 And this reminds me 🤔, there's an aweful lot of lace around our house that needs ironing ASAP! 😁 Thanks Fred!

How I remember Hidden Magic hairspray! There was also Tame Cream Rinse (the precurser to pretty much all hair conditioners), and Curl Free (home hair straightening kit).

With the number of my family members using aerosol products, I'm surprised the hole in the ozone layer wasn't directly over our house!

I didn't realize the X-ray technicians had to hand draw. Yep, that looks just like the heart burn area.

@ 3:50 They just don't make coffee creamer that stays fresh on the step ladder anymore

Imagine being an ad copywriter and realizing the crown jewel of your day’s work is, “What a wonderful laxative!”!

Amazing how modest that Ambassador ad was: "Of course that didn't put me in the Cadillac league...not yet." Conceding that someone would eventually want to move up to a competitor's luxury car, but just saying that theirs was good enough for the time being.

Haley's M-O...basically Vaseline in liquid form LOL. It really worked...left an oily toilet bowl ring...but thanks to the little guy in the toilet boat turning the water Caribbean blue...no problem.

Remember Shasta shampoo, in a glass jar -- Prell shampoo also came in a glass bottle --- Actually back then even bleach came in glass bottles or jugs. And cream deodorant's in little glass jars --- I remember Mum's, and Tussy .... There was also one that had a faint clove scent. And Jergen's hand lotion in, you guessed it; a glass bottle. It had a almond scent to it. Glass: It's what we used before plastic ;)

I loved Yipes Stripes Sour Bites when I was a kid- always had to get the assorted flavors. And the animals stamped on them were so cute!

I was born in 1952 and I remember a lot of these things . some of them were pretty crappy at the time but there was nothing to compare it to so you didn't know it was. But some are still made today. I get catalogs .

it just struck me, there's probably an entire younger generation of people watching this who are asking themselves why in the world you would spray starch on clothes. lol

Many thanks, as I enjoyed that a lot. In fact, I dug out my collection of Raleigh coupons, and I'm going to trade them in for an axe. Or a machete. Maybe a Glock -- haven't counted the coupons yet.

These commercials are the best ASMR for before I sleep

I'm old enough to remember most of these commercials and brands.

Don't forget about ...Doans Pills..my Mom hid these like they were a real drug. I really like the little green round container.

Hunger Tantrum is now called Hangry.

"When you eat too well, demand Di-Gel."

I remember " I want my Maypo" !😃 Hot Cereal.

11:36 that jingle seems to have trouble getting started “The nourishment.....of oatmeal.......post.......heart of oats”

Very cute. I really appreciate all the time and effort you have put into these videos.

Anyone remember the diet supplement called Ayds?

I've recently discovered the FredFlix vidoes and I'm enjoying them tremendously. I had forgotten so many of the things he mentions, and the videos bring it all back.

Another great video, with memories from a better time,..at least for some of us. Thanks so much Fred.

I used an iron and ironing board to straighten my long hair, it’d freak out my mom she was worried that I would burn myself. That was about 1972, I was in High School, good times. Great music, awesome cars, human interaction.

I do miss full service gas stations.

Great compilation, kept my mind off the hunger tantrum my empty stomach was having. 😀

I remember Pream! “You’re the Pream in my coffee...🎶” Then all of a sudden they yanked it off the shelves, saying it caused cancer!

Missing the full service stations and clean restrooms!

Ah, the full service fuel station. How I do miss those!

Ah, back when you could get an axe with cigarette coupons. Good times.

the chooz x-ray test. LOL!

I remember Chooz.Back in 1975,I was in grade school,and I was chewing a piece of it.I was chastised for chewing gum in the classroom.

You know, Ted Knight in that laxative commercial was a little..............Too Close For Comfort ;)

Products heavily advertised on Canadian TV in the 60s and 70s when I was a kid: Resdan dandruff treatment and bubbly Eno fruit salts, a product similar to Alka-Seltzer but minus the ASA. We also saw a lot of commercials for Coffee-Mate. That Pream spot reminded me of that fact.

I love these old commercials! Thanks Fred!

Did anyone else catch Judith Lowery early in the video? She gained fame very late in life on "Phyllis". She played Cloris Leachman's mother in law's mother in law.

I'm just amazed that women of that generation wore dresses all the time...can remember my mother having to change into a dress to leave the house to go shopping

It’s all about a good shit. A regular life is a good life.

Circa 1954, Betty White had a live daytime show on NBC (done in Los Angeles at 9 AM to air in the East at noon) and she did live spots for that RDX diet aid.

2:12- Judith Lowry, veteran of TV commercials (later a regular on "PHYLLIS").

My gosh, Fred. You have fantastic posts about EVERYTHING. Thanks, again, as usual.

Imagine the preservatives they soaked those strawberries in!

Love that at the end of the Sta Puf commercial they say it will make you less tired. Lol

I think Bean-O has pretty much replaced Di Gel 😂😂😂

I LOVE these old commercials. I like the old alkaseltzer commercials. Especially the heart shape meatloaf!!

Your channel has been my holiday comfort food. Thanks, Fred, and happy holidays 🎄

My Dad smoked Belairs back in the day- we still have a box of coupons! LOL! We once got a Revere camera 📷 with em! Those were the good ol’days!!!

Ted Baxter always feels much better and ready to deliver the news after a good dump.

Really like what you find and post. Good fun.

I love watching these old commercials ! Yes, the full service gas stations....great job, Fred.

"Do you save the coupons?...Jim does, that's how he got his ax." omg!

The haleys mo commercial was a riot.. Its gentle.. But thorough! LOL

This is definitely going on my commercial playlist! Thanks!

8:57- Art Ballinger, who later appeared on "DRAGNET 196-".

Always good to know that Ted Knight was able to take a dump.

Post Heart of Oats must not have sold too well. I don’t remember that cereal at all.

@FredFlix Thanks for the blast from the past! I remember so many of these jingles, we kids would sing them at school. One of the first TV ads that made me start to go "Hmmm?" was the "Ring Around the Collar" commercial - made me want to say, "Then go wash yer own dam shirts!"

another great job Fred!!!

Thank you. I love your videos and the memories they bring of a simpler time

"Fill it to the rim, with Brim"....."Kellogg's Sugar Corn Pops, Sugar Pops are tops"....."Gas war! 19 cents a gallon at Godat's Station".

Good job posting these! The days before the "Soylent Green" type foods! At least the strawberries were real in the cereal!

Good compilation. Thanks for putting it together!

I got a kick out of the 'Plymouth/Desoto' ad at (7:06) and the 'American Motors Ambassador' at (10:40)...I remember when I could identify any 'year/make/model' of car with just a with a look at a tail-light ! (now I barely know a Ford from a Chevy...never mind what year)Were things different then? Yeah...but mainly in the way people acted toward each other...'Courtesy' was the 'norm' then. People went out of their way to help someone w/car trouble on the side of the road...especially a woman with kids in the car. It wouldn't be more than five minutes before someone would pull-over and do whatever they could to help anywhere in the U.S. and they would be happy to do it.(since when did becoming 'savage ass-holes' to each other become 'normal?') I don't miss the 'old days', nor do I suffer from'false memory syndrome' ...but I can write in all honesty that, for the most part, American society was more 'forgiving' in the'50's and early '60's than now. And I wish those times would come back...when people were better toward each other than they are now.

I remember the "Cornflakes and Strawberries" stuff--they had freeze-dried berries that turned into sort of mutant versions of strawberries when you'd add the milk. The fact it was kind of gross was, I guess, why we liked it as kids. Kids seem to like lots of strange foods. But it was better than the other weird cereal, I don't remember the name, that had freeze-dried bits of supposed ice cream. The thing that I notice about these old commercials is how long some of them seem--a whole minute. That kind of long commercial seems reserved these days for prescription drugs--20 seconds to tell you how great they are and 40 seconds to warn you of all the side effects.

Prune juice is also effective for when you need a bit of help to "go".

Mt. Prospect Beverage sold all sorts of flavored sodas. Cream Soda was my favorite. They sold it by the case.

Did we appreciate the past? So good to REVIEW AND REMEMBER. 🌟 🌟 🌟

The old commercials were so nice as compared to our current batch. Now we have drugs for every disease, mental illness or drug side effects. The lawyer adds are a trip, does anyone ever get money for those adds? I have only known one person who got money from a drug reaction. What happens to all that money? Sorry, it seems the products then we're not pitched to change your life, just to enhance your survival. God l wish the gentle persuasion was back in advertising. But times change , society gets more complex, and we can remember our youth. Thank Fred Flix for showing us our past imperfect! Oh human beings are so complex!!!!!🌹🌹🌹🌹🍀🍀🍀🍀🌼🌼🌼🌼🌻🌻🌻🌻

And the Pream! LOL! They stirred with two passes of the spoon and switched cameras so you couldn't see the cup long enough to watch the undissolvable clumps come back to the top! Coffee you'd have to floss after.

Are you kidding me? If I had known that I could have gotten a free axe with Raleigh coupons, I would have started smoking years ago! DAMN IT!!! My bad.

Feels like a $3.50 TREATMENT !!!!!! Awesome!

Thanks Fred Flix

Cyanide. That's what the wife is stirring in the coffee.

Wow...I totally forgot about Haleys MO and Digell! 🤥

Ted Baxter needs to go to the bathroom. I'll just about bet you that stuff had mineral oil in it. That's why it was M O.Remember the time Kelloggs put bananas in their Corn Flakes? It wasn't on the market for long, but it was good. I bought it all the time.I used to think when I was a kid that Bel Air was a weird version of the name Blair. Like Balaire.

Thank you Fred! These are wonderful. I suspect that many of these products are still in fact, available...albeit renamed and repackaged.

Horizon coffee: anyone notice that his answer to the question “do you pick all of the beans by hand? “ is “lots of them! “Well, LOTS could mean 10,000 out of 100,000,000. The ad copy is meant to misrepresent without actually lying. How quaint. Now everybody just out and out lies, don’t you think?

I see Cheerios with strawberries and bananas. As if you couldn't just PUT some in, and fresh!

Love that old Haley's M-O commercial...so that's how the judge got ready for his big golf match with Ty, Danny and Dr. Beeper in Caddyshack - he just took a big crap and was ready to take on the world!

Love it Awesome job on this video...Thank you so much for your videos..

Is that old lady for "Sta-puff" smoking a cigarette at the end of the spot?

never get tired of watching and going backin time what a great time need those days again country gone crazy

I remember almost all of these, even used some of them. Getting old is a real surprise party, isn't it!?

It was definitely a different world then!! 😲😆

This brings back fun memories; however, I keep imagining Don Draper being the mastermind of these classic ads.

Bel Air was my first Chevy car bought in 1970

The song that played at the start is just perfect. Sounds like Frank Sinatra.

Ted Knight was an accomplished ventriloquist and a very proud Polish American. He always looked middle aged.

I never knew Ted Knight had constipation problems

Wow there was no way in avoiding ironing back then !

Thank you for these❤

Take me back to these years !!!!

That Shasta ad was so enticing I'm ready to buy it

Nice to see the Continental ad at the close of the clips. We here in Houston miss the service and quality that was Continental. Now we're stuck with United, but at least we have Southwest for an alternative much of the time.

I wonder what ever happened to some of these products, great video!!

Thanks alot for the blast from the past I liked it🙄💛💡

Did they ever say what the flavor was of Haley's "Flavored M-O"?
